Galanthus 'Curly'

Galanthus 'Curly' is a small but vigorous snowdrop growing to just 4-5 inches high with curving outer petals with a hint of green at the tips and inner petals marked with a large X that bleeds towards the ovary. The leaves are distinctive and curled backwards. Snowdrops are a harbinger of spring that bloom in late winter, often breaking through the snow. Their pendulous pure white flowers often have green markings, the small subtleties of which along with the variation in petal shapes beguile many gardeners who, having fallen down the rabbit hole, are known as galanthophiles. Beware! You could be next.
